The main purpose of the OCW is to encourage graduate students at the
various institutions around southern Ontario to become acquainted with
each other and to foster an appreciation of the scope of the work being
done ``close to home". The main focus of the workshop is 25 minute
presentations by graduate students. The Peter Rodney Memorial
Book Prize will be awarded for the best presentation by a graduate
student.
